About Rowna
Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, and life transitions. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that can fit into daily life. Her style aims to build empowerment and better day-to-day functioning for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
Rowna draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness to tailor work to each person. She describes therapy as a collaborative process that looks at how different parts of life interact - for example, how pain can increase anxiety and anxiety can increase pain. That view shapes a plan that targets what matters most to the individual.
Her background includes work in child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis counseling, active duty military contexts, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice. Those roles inform a broad perspective on coping, transitions, and family-related challenges without assuming a single solution fits everyone.
Sessions can include coaching-style conversations, skills practice, and problem-solving to build routines that support sleep, mood, and daily functioning. She emphasizes finding small, repeatable changes that lead to more energy and stability.
Rowna welcomes international clients and works from Florida. She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to start, then schedules sessions based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behavior, while clarifying personal values to guide change. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, with practical exercises that can improve mood, sleep, and daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with anger, self-regulation, and relationship stress.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they adjust methods and tools so work in sessions matches the person's needs and daily life.
For online therapy logistics, confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how sessions will be conducted. Many people find online options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let work continue across locations. Practical benefits include using session time for skill practice, planning sleep routines, or checking progress without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, or DBT tools to remote sessions to focus on sleep, stress reduction, and building consistent habits.
